Lattice study of vacuum polarization function and determination of strong coupling constant

Abstract

We calculate the vacuum polarization functions on the lattice using the overlap fermion formulation.By matching the lattice data at large momentum scales with the perturbative expansion supplemented by Operator Product Expansion (OPE), we extract the strong coupling constant ${\alpha }_s(\mu )$ in two-flavor QCD as ${\Lambda }_{\overline{MS}}^{(2)}$ = $0.234(9){(}_{-0}^{+16})$ GeV, where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively. In addition, from the analysis of the difference between the vector and axial-vector channels, we obtain some of the four-quark condensates.
